Physical Therapy Management of Older Adults With Hip Fracture.

Hip fracture is a leading cause of profound morbidity in individuals aged 65 years and older, ranking in the top 10 causes of loss of disability-adjusted life-years for older adults. Worldwide, the number of people with hip fracture is expected to rise significantly due to the aging population and other factors. Physical therapist management is recommended within medical, surgical, and multidisciplinary clinical practice guideline (CPGs) and is considered to be the standard of care in rehabilitation for people with hip fracture.

Generative Modeling of InSAR Interferograms.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has become an essential technique to detect surface variations due to volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, glaciers, and aquifers. However, Earth's ionosphere, atmosphere, vegetation, surface runoff, etc., introduce noise that requires post-processing to separate its components.

Greenland supraglacial lake drainages triggered by hydrologically induced basal slip.

Water-driven fracture propagation beneath supraglacial lakes rapidly transports large volumes of surface meltwater to the base of the Greenland Ice Sheet. These drainage events drive transient ice-sheet acceleration and establish conduits for additional surface-to-bed meltwater transport for the remainder of the melt season. Although it is well established that cracks must remain water-filled to propagate to the bed, the precise mechanisms that initiate hydro-fracture events beneath lakes are unknown.
